22 Best Bakeries in Charleston

“Great food! Great service!“

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!“

“The cutest little spot! Saw a video on TikTok raving about it and had to visit. The folks working were so lovely and kind- politely answered questions about each item. We grabbed a sandwich, a strawberry biscuit, a slice of honey pie, a slice of olive oil cake, and two pistachio cream sandwich cookies + two iced coffees. Sampled a little bit of everything and loved every single bite- I cannot choose a favorite. 100% will be back! Thank you!“

“Great little place. I enjoyed my vegan sandwich. Garrett is very pleasant, made my day.“

“Living in Summerville, I have yet to find a "real" bakery. Fortunately, one of my coworkers turned me onto Wildflower. Since I work downtown, I make a point to visit the bakery at least once a week. The staff is friendly and helpful and the selection is vast.“

“So happy to have this shop in West Ashley. Their baguettes in croissants are such a treat and not that I’m an expert, but seem true to European standards, if not better than my memories. As expected at the end of the the day they were out of most pastries, so I grabbed a coffee cake and simple egg & cheese on baguette. My 2 yr old was getting fussy, so as was going to tell him I have to go to the car, the kind cook read my mind. He offered to bring it to me. Simplicity made heavenly. I haven’t tried the coffee cake yet bc my daughter hasn’t let me have a bite. Lol looks delicious tho!“

“If you are searching homemade cake in Charleston, look no further. Just stop right now and order one or two! We ordered chocolate/chocolate and red velvet. Everyone was impressed with these cakes. They were super, dare I say moist? Homemade cake and icing. Order now!“

“Cute little bakery. Purchased a few cupcakes to try.Never heard of a hummingbird cake, supposed to have banana, walnut and pineapple, but I think I got a unmixed one, or maybe it's all blended because I don't think I had any of those pieces. Frosting was nice though.Also purchased a Lime curd, Lemon curd, and pinata surprise.Lime and Lemon were very tart, which would've been alright by itself but the frosting was soo sweet. I guess it's to try to balance them out, but it feels more like it's just overwhelming. Pinata surprise was just a cake with sprinkles, but the frosting was good.Also got a blueberry muffin and a Pecan Chewy. Blueberry was nice, bit more moist than the cupcakes it felt like. But the chewy really good. Would recommend.“

“The food was delicious and the place was packed. It was hard to find seating. The ordering of drinks was a little confusing. They didn't seem to have wait staff to refill drinks. It was a little confusing for me, but an extrovert who doesn't mind asking questions would have no problems. I just ate my food, drank my one coffee, and left. I hate drawing attention and having to ask questions.“

“Best Almond croissant. Mixed Berry tart too !“

“My daughter and I stumbled upon this little piece of heaven. We have tried cupcakes up and down the East Coast. These are the best cupcakes ever. We got a little of everything. Definitely will be back and will be placing birthday orders. Its a hour drive, but definitely worth it.“

“I absolutely loved working with Lauren and Will to make my wedding cake. It came out BEAUTIFUL! We got the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, which was delicious. It’s a flavor that I can’t forget. I asked for a simple but rustic cake design and came upon using fairy lights as the decor. Lauren and Will NAILED IT!! It came out even better than I could imagine, and the taste of the cake was something all of the guests raved about. I can’t wait to work with them for any future events. Thank y’all so much!“

“Rhiannon was absolutely incredible to work with. Everything was so easy and seamless & tasted absolutely incredible. She truly has SO many delicious flavors that it was no easy task narrowing them down. We knew immediately after the tasting that we needed her desserts for our wedding. We had a small cutting cake with cupcakes & macarons. We are still dreaming of the whiskey caramel pecan cupcakes. She was extremely communicative and made sure any allergies/preferences were taken care of. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Ashley Bakery did a phenomenal job on my fiancé’s birthday cake! It was a total hit! She created it exactly the way we discussed with the flavoring requested!! I definitely recommend this bakery!!!“

“Great customer service! Amanda went out of her way to make sure my grandchildren got hot chocolate after 3 other places ran out! The other staff members were great too! So friendly and helpful! Will definitely be returning to purchase more delicious cookies! So many to choose from yet so hard to choose!“

“This authentic French bakery is the real deal! As soon as I walked in this bakery I felt like I was transported into another country. The pastries are truly a work of art! The almond croissant was hands down the best pastry I have ever had… so good I’m still left day dreaming about it. The Le Chambertin bakery was one of the top highlights of our trip to Charleston! If you are in the area it is a must! Thank you for an unforgettable experience, we will be back! :)“

“DaVee is so incredibly talented! I knew I needed some of her desserts for our wedding after sampling some of her cakes and cookies. She made these beautiful cake pops for us, and they were such a hit, I never got to try one because they were devoured instantly!“

“Was a good experience going into this location. We got to sample some of the cookies and they were pretty good. Don’t expect a lot of these cookies to have frosting. They are not big in size and they come in bags of multiples as you cannot just buy one. If you like cookies and have a sweet tooth, I would say you should try these. The employees were nice. Would probably go back and recommend.“

“The best homemade desserts ever. I enjoy everything so I recommend everything. My favorite are the Chewies and the White chocolate cranberry cookies. The cookies are so soft and melt in your mouth. The Chewies are just how a Chewie should taste delicious and chewy! I highly recommend anyone and everyone to stop by and try out Simply Your Desserts! You won't be disappointed!“

“I had the best experience ordering from Amy for my sisters 21st birthday this past weekend! She was so easy to communicate with and knocked it out of the park with what I asked for! The cake was BEAUTIFUL and so perfectly detailed, also the best tasting cake ever!! I will always order from Amy when I’m In GR! Can’t recommend more!!!“

“Didn’t know it was inside the gas station but they still have a very nice sitting area inside and the atmosphere is nice to sit and eat. The food is obviously amazing. The coffee is great! George who was serving me was such a great employee. They are lucky to have him. He set me up perfectly for a breakfast get together I was having. Will be coming back.“

“Probably one of the best Auntie Anne’s we’ve been to in terms of friendliness and awesome customer service. The taste of the food is a given… it’s good but, some other locations we’ve been to seem like your inconveniencing them by buying their food. Not this though.“
